La Rochelle scratched out a 16-11 home victory over Stade Francais on Saturday to move to the head of the Top 14 table.
La Rochelle took the lead with a try after just five minutes.
From a lineout, scrum-half Thomas Berjon burst through the Stade defence and raced 40 metres to score his first La Rochelle try.
Jules Plisson converted and added a penalty after 17 minutes, but the home team were unable to build on their strong start. We could have made it easier for ourselves, said home captain Romain Sazy. It was a pretty bitty match.

Pineapples are seeing unusual movement for the holiday season.
“Christmas is an interesting time because this is usually when pineapples are in a very good position market-wise. But 2020 has been a weird year for some commodities and we feel the market is a bit oversupplied. The movement is just not there on the wholesale side. There’s a lot of availability that we’re seeing,” says Anthony Serafino of Exp Group, LLC based in North Bergen, NJ.
He does note that with tropical commodities in general, movement patterns can turn fast thanks to factors such as weather conditions from supplying countries in South and Central America. “This though is the time of year that pineapples move like watermelons in the summer. But they haven’t been moving,” says Serafino.
